Abstract

BACKGROUND: A study of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SIH) found a higher content of Fas ligand in the perihematomic brain area compared to healthy brain areas. The objective of this study was to analyze whether blood soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) concentrations could be used to estimate the prognosis of SIH patients.

METHODS: Observational and prospective study performed in five Spanish Intensive Care Units. Patients with

RESULTS: Surviving SIH patients (

CONCLUSIONS: The capability of serum sFasL to predict SIH patient mortality is the main novel finding of our study.
